Netware 6.5 SP8

Well we ran some upgrades so far and have hit a few snags.

Some of the servers work great with the SP8 upgrade others hit a brick wall and consume the cache memory on loading even with the static memory assignment.

I think this traces back to the speed of the hardware loading the other nlm's before the avamar aganet is fully loaded.

Will be testing this theory tonight and posting updates.

Well a little sifting through console.log files I decided to give the delay command a try. I put a 30 second delay before I call Avamar then I placed a 60 second delay before calling the next product that is Groupwise.

I noticed that Groupwise was initializing before Avamar had fully loaded and they can both be memory hogs.

I will update after some testing.

Here is what the modified section of my autoexec.ncf looks like

# Added by Avamar Client Install
DELAY 30
SYS:\AVAMAR\BIN\AVCTL.NLM start

DELAY 60
